Hey Guys.

Just putting the idea out there to anyone interested.

Test and Tune on at Heathcote Park Raceway on the 29th May (Sunday).

Im taking my 33 out for its maiden voyage on the strip with its new turbo.

There'll be a few friends coming along. (Nothing crazy out of my friends - one is even borrowing my standard V6 statesman cuz his corolla mightn't make it).

Hoping to fly the import flag above the usual V8 1600kg+ cars that usually frequent the area.

Be great to see some more Nissans make it there.

If your coming from Melb its a long way to spectate. That being said the line has never been crazy wheneva I've been there so there is the potential to fit a very high number of passes if you just want to do run after run without really thinking about what your doing.

Seems i have a few mates keen

1x R33 GTR 370rwkw

1x Blown LS1 380-400rwkw

No doubt more to come... including what is basically a V8 supercar with street rego (had around 330rwkw N/A) :D

I'll update once i know more. Could be a few EVO's and maybe a C63 AMG

I was at heathcote a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed in the lack of imports ( skyline to be more specific) that being said it was an awesome day and I wouldn't mind going back up again for this event, especially if we can get a few SAU members up there (will give me a chance to meet a few of you first hand).

I'd like to give my 32 a run and my mate will probably give his typhoon a crack aswell (350rwkw)

Hey that sounds great guys.

I always think the same. Lack of Imports at Heathcote. Only one way to fix that. We'll take it over that day.

And as for Car requirements. Your car must be Safe. i,e seats bolted down properly etc, they will check for overflow bottles on Radiators. Have all the main safety features that ur required to have on the street and u'll be fine. No licences required, no cages, extinguisers etc unless your running something very quick (10.99 or better I believe without looking it up)

And wear long sleeve clothing and have a ADR approved Helmet (I just use a basic motorbike Helmet)

Cheers. Luke

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so far coming in my group

1x C63 AMG

1x R33 GTR 370rwkw

1x Blown LS1 Commodore 400rwkw+

1x Audi - Not sure what, could be a RS5

1x Clio Sport - probably only run a 17 but its a funny little car

Maybe a mates LS1 Monaro N/A 330rwkw.

Could be more coming, few mates are on the fence at the moment.

Awesome. We don't have anything crazy coming from Bendigo that i'm aware of. I'm still the only import in the group. LMAO at the fact I've talked one of my mates into racing my stock statesman V6 down the quarter. (Only so I can have my 2nd car there to carry all my stuff)

Just hoping that the weather holds off. Should be clearing mid week to give a few days to dry out. Heres hoping. Think i've pretty much got everything prepared for the Skyline that I had planned.

And hey. The Clio should be a good match for my Statesman. I dont expect it to do anything better then 16's.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
